ITEM TITLE: RESOLUTION 1&,-4 WAIVING THE CONSULTANT SELECTION
PROCESS, AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO EXECUTE A TWO
PARTY AGREEMENT WITH KEA ENVIRONMENTAL INC. RELATED TO CONSULTING
SERVICES FOR PREPARATION OF AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT FOR THE
BAYFRONT REDEVELOPMENT PLAN AMENDMENT AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS
THEREFOR
SUBMITTED BY: C,m""'" '...,pm.. ';'~~ ç .
REVIEWED BY: Executive Directo~ ~.A (4/5ths Vote: Yes..x.. No_I
BACKGROUND: On October 7, 1997, the Agency approved Resolutions 1557 and 1558, taking the first step in the plan
amendment process for the Bayfront and Town Centre project areas by approving the Preliminary Plans
which are now being prepared. Amendment to the Plans is considered to be a project under CEQA and is
therefore subject to environmental review. Based on preliminary assessment of environmental issues, staff
has determined that an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) needs to be prepared. Consultant services are
required for preparation of the EIR as staff does not have adequate resources to complete the study.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Agency adopt the resolution waiving the consultant selection process,
and authorizing the Executive Director to execute a two party Agreement with KEA Environmental, Inc.
related to consulting services for preparation of an Environmental Impact Report for the Bayfront
Redevelopment Plan Amendment and appropriating funds therefor
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable,
DISCUSSION:
The most significant environmental issues associated with the plan amendments are related to the addition
of territory that is within the Port's jurisdiction. That area was recently the subject of an EIR for the Port's
Master Plan Amendment, approved by their Board on October 7, 1997. A significant amount of current
information is available from that EIR which was prepared by KEA Environmental. Inc. It is also important
to note that KEA prepared the exhaustive EIR study for the Midbayfront LCP Amendment in 1993. Much
of the information from that EIR will be relied upon to support the amendments to the redevelopment plan
related to conformance with the LCP.
~-I
Page 2, Item ot
Meeting Date 10128197
Timing is critical to the Redevelopment Plan amendment process. In order to establish the 1997/98 fiscal
year as the base year for the purposes of calculating tax increment, the amendment needs to be approved
by September 1998. To meet that schedule, the preparation of the EIR should commence in early
November, 1997. This would provide for completion of the Final EIR by May, allowing for the amendments
to be taken to the Agency in June, leaving time in July and August for statutory notice requirements.
Defining a scope of work for the Redevelopment Plan Amendment was not possible until the Port approved
their Master Plan Amendment on October 7. 1997. The Redevelopment Plan land use plan must be
consistent with the Port's Master Plan since they have land use jurisdiction within the territory proposed
to be added to the Redevelopment Plan. Staff needed certainty on the Port's Master Plan Amendment
before proceeding with the Redevelopment Plan Amendment EIR. This is why this item is being presented
at this late date under difficult time constraints.
Two factors, 1) the extreme time constraints for completing the EIR, and 2) the fact that KEA
Environmental, Inc. is uniquely qualified for the project. having recently completed a similar EIR process for
amendments to the Port District Master Plan for the same territory, staff has recommended that the City's
normal consultant selection process be waived. Staff believes that the extensive existing data obtained by
KEA for the Port Master Plan Amendment EIR can be readily used for this study and will result in cost
savings to the Agency. In fact, in light of KEA's experience. they would have been the likely choice for the
work if the project had been competitively bid.
The scope of the EIR is outlined in detail in the Agreement which is included as Attachment A. The scope
of work reflects the overall purpose for the EIR and distinguishes it from recent EIRs prepared in the same
area. The EIR is proposed to specifically address the effects of the proposed Redevelopment Plan
amendment separately from the effects associated with existing land use designations. The EIR will address
the impact of utilizing blight removal tools provided under California Redevelopment law to stimulate new
development and encourage economic development. Generally, the consultant will be responsible for filing
public notices, coordinating with staff and other consultants working on the project, researching
environmental impacts and documenting their findings in a Preliminary Draft EIR. The Consultant will be
responsible for revising the Draft, issuing the document for public review and responding to public comment.
FISCAL IMPACT: The contract will be awarded for a fixed fee of $45,865. The form of contract is
the City's standard two-party consulting agreement. Funds are not available in the Bayfront Project Area
account to cover the costs of the services. Staff is requesting that a loan be advanced from the
unencumbered balance of the Otay Valley Road Project Area fund to the Bayfront Project Area fund and that
an appropriation be made from the Bayfront fund for this specific purpose. Staff was not able to include
this in the budget since the scope of work and costs could not be determined until the Port approved the
amendment to their Master Plan.

Bayfront and Town Center I Redevelopment Plan Amendment.
8, Scope of Work and Schedule:
A. Detailed Scope of Work:
Consultant shall prepare the EIR in conformance with the
criteria, standards and provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act. The scope of the EIR work effort
.;I-I'
shall include all necessary research, verification of
existing data and analysis to satisfy the requirements of
CEQA. At a minimum, the ErR shall contain the following
sections:
Executive Summary
The Executive Summary shall include a brief summary of the
project and proposed actions, as well as a summary of
environmental impacts and proposed mitigation measures.
Purpose and Scope of EIR
The Purpose and Scope section shall contain information
relating to the Project's compliance with the California
Environmental Quality Act and identify the purpose, scope
and application of the ErR. This section shall explain in
detail how the ErR is proposed to specifically address the
effects of the proposed Redevelopment Plan amendment and
distinguish those effects from those associated with
existing land use designations, A description of the
purpose of the Redevelopment Plan should be included and
compared to the function of land use controls in the absence
of the Redevelopment Plan (for the Tidelands areas).
The document shall be described as a Program EIR since all
future activities carried out under the Redevelopment Plan
are considered to be a single project.
Project Description
The Project Description shall include a discussion of the
location and characteristics of the project, including a
statement of the project objectives and proposed
discretionary actions. The Project Description shall be
sufficiently detailed to explain the scope of the
Redevelopment Plan amendment, the reasons for the proposed
changes and each element of the proposed changes, including
expansion of territory, extension of time limits, and
extension of eminent domain.
This section shall describe the proposed amendment as a tool
for eliminating blight and encouraging economic growth,
giving a context for understanding how the Redevelopment
Plan, with proposed amendments, relates to other land use
controls, such as the City's General Plan, the Local Coastal
Program and the Port's Master Plan,
Environmental Impact Analysis
This section shall address the existing conditions, impacts,
mitigation measures and level of impact after mitigation for
the topics listed below. A significant amount of existing
data is available from the LCP Resubmittal #8 EIR and the
recent Port Master Plan Amendment EIR. Information from
those documents shall be summarized and properly referenced
to provide a single formal report of environmental impacts
and mitigation, This section shall address future
~-/7
development impacts for the new territory (Tidelands) only,
in a "plan-to-ground" manner. Areas that are within the
Tidelands but not within the study area of the recent Port
Master Plan EIR need to be evaluated based on existing
planned land uses as compared to existing environmental
conditions. Evaluation of impacts for lands that are
currently within the Redevelopment Plan boundaries shall be
limited to the effects of extension of time frames for the
Redevelopment Plan and extension of eminent domain authority
("plan-to-plan" analysis).
Land Use and Planninq
Consultant shall evaluate the consistency of the project
proposals with existing General Plan Land use designations,
the Local Coastal Program and the Port Master Plan.
Consistency with other related plans or policies, shall also
be addressed.

pollutant load introduced by the project and represented as
a percentage of the regional contribution, based on
information derived from the nearest air monitoring
stations.
Noise
Consultant shall summarize information from previous EIRs
and conduct new analysis for areas not previously studied to
address noise impacts from project traffic and from proposed
uses within the amendment area,
Transportation/Circulation
Consultant shall summarize information from previous EIRs
and technical studies to analyze increased vehicular
movement, access and parking requirements, including
necessary circulation improvements. The analysis shall
,:¿ ../f/
- . - -

with Section 15130 of the CEQA Guidelines and based on
information from previous EIRs. Cumulative effects for each
relevant issue shall be discussed and the scope of the
analysis shall be based on the range of impact for each
issue. Quantification of cumulative impacts shall be
provided where appropriate.
Growth-Inducing Impacts
Consultant shall address the project's potential to foster
new growth in the City and the region, in accordance with
Section 15126(g) of the CEQA Guidelines. This section will

SERVICES FOR REMEDIATION, APPROVING A lOAN FROM THE OTAY VAllEY

REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA FUND AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR
FROM THE SOUTHWEST PROJECT AREA FUND
SUBMITTED BY: 'omm"" D.."o"",. D;'OC~'?'
REVIEWED BY: Executive Director j ~ ~ /1 (415ths Vote: YesJl No_I
BACKGROUND:
The southerly half of the 2.4 acre site intended for development of the Broadway Business Homes, was
cleared and conveyed to the developers, Josef and lenore Citron, last fall. The northerly half of the site
is still owned by the Agency and is in escrow with the developers for development of Phase II of the
project. In the process of clearing the Phase I site for development, contaminated soils from both Phase
I and II were excavated and stockpiled on the Phase II site. The cost of the excavation and treatment of
this material was to be spilt equally between the developers and the Agency pursuant to the terms of the
Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA), as amended, for the Business Homes project. The terms of
the DDA provided for sharing of costs as the work was completed. The developers failed to pay their share
of the remediation costs on an ongoing basis, resulting in the Agency paying for all remedial work completed
to date. As a result, the funds appropriated to complete the remediation were exhausted before the work
could be completed, and the stockpiled contaminated soils have remained on the site for nearly a year.
Additional detail related to the depletion of Agency funds is provided in the Fiscal Impact section of this
report.
The developers have indicated that they currently do not have the funds to reimburse the Agency for the
work that has been done by the Agency toward remediation. The Agency is requested to authorize staff
to complete the remediation of soils on the site at this time and appropriate funds for this work.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Agency adopt the Resolution authorizing the completion of soil
remediation on Agency-owned property located at 760 Broadway, authorizing the Executive Director to
arrange for contractual services for remediation (subject to compliance with applicable purchasing
procedures), approving a loan from the Otay Valley Road Redevelopment Project Area fund to the Southwest
Redevelopment Project Area fund and appropriating funds therefor from the Southwest Project Area fund.

Meeting Date 10128197
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
In a letter dated September 5, 1997, the Agency informed the developers that they were in material breach
of the DDA for the project and allowed them until October 26, 1997 to obtain financing for the project.
At this time, the developers are attempting to pre.sell units in order to qualify for a loan for Phase I
construction. At the time that this report is being written, it appears unlikely that they will meet the
Agency's deadline in this endeavor.
In the event that the Business Homes project does not proceed, the Agency will still have to remediate the
soils in order to sell its property to another developer. Remediation of the soils now will facilitate future
development opportunities by making the property immediately available and marketable without
contingencies.
In lieu of participation in remediation costs by the developer as previously anticipated, staff recommends
that the Agency move forward and fund this work at this time for the following reasons:
1. It is clear that, even if the Business Homes project moves forward, there will be ample time to
remediate the site through a less expensive process (on-site bioremediation) than previously
anticipated.
2. Although the Agency is asked to appropriate funds, Fuller Ford is ultimately responsible for
reimbursing all costs associated with removal and treatment of contaminated soils caused by their
previous use of the site. Staff is currently in the process of requesting reimbursement.
3. The contaminated soils are currently stockpiled on the northerly half of the site. As such, they are
a concern of the developer, neighboring property owners and prospective purchasers.
4. The rainy season is approaching and erosion problems are expected. As a result, additional costs
of erosion control would need to be expended.
J..J.
Page 3. Item .3
Meeting Date 10/28/97
FISCAL IMPACT: To date, the Agency has spent a total of $82,684 in soil testing and remediation.
Completion of the remediation is expected to cost an additional $45,000, The costs of remediation work
were to have been shared between the Agency and the developer on an on-going basis as testing and
remediation work proceeded. The developer failed to make the required payments forcing the Agency to
pay 100% of invoices from the consultant. Notice was given to the developer that they were in default
of the agreement on numerous occasions. The developer's failure to pay caused the funds previously
approved for the Agency's half of the costs to be depleted before the work was completed. In light of the
unwillingness of the developer to make any contributions, these additional funds are required. The
appropriation request is for the $45,000 + $4,500 (10% contingency) - $49,500. The Southwest Project
Area fund does not have a sufficient balance to cover these costs and, therefore, this request requires a
loan from the Otay Valley Road Project Area fund to the Southwest fund. As indicated above, staff is in
the process of pursuing reimbursement of all remediation costs from Fuller Ford. The loan will be repaid
with interest at the City's pooled investments rate, out of the first available funds.
